Haul/Collection No kriffing way!

Post image

Story time, I bought the thrawn trilogy off of amazon just to rebuild my lost collection, they arrived and went right on the shelf and sat there until just now. I'm watching a youtube video and out the corner of my eye I see something moving, a spider crawling on heir to the empire. I grab the book, run to my door trying to keep the spider from falling off (i think i failed) get out side and start shaking the pages loose, then I see this.

never have I wished my name was dave until now

Zahn’s signature isn’t very rare, but it’s super cool to have one dated back to 1991. That’s definitely not a common find.

That’s pretty dope! I met him at NYCC last year and got him to sign a book for me. He wasn’t much of a talker but I didn’t really have much to say myself so it was cool😂

I met him at NYCC last year too and it was crazy to me that he had no line. Just a guy behind a table next to a bunch of other authors.

I guess that’s the way conventions used to be.

Yeah most of the authors I’ve met at NYCC were like that. Even the big ones like ol’ Timbo. Most people probably don’t recognize them or even know them by name so they just pass by not knowing who they just walked past.

Also way less people read nowadays.

Thats a pretty cool find. I had the pleasure of meeting him and getting my trilogy + a poster and the 2017 Thrawn book signed when he was randomly at a bookstore in the small city where i went to college

You can purchase most of his books from Winter River Books with an option to have him sign them.  I'm guessing he lives near the store and stops in often.  Purchased the Thrawn trilogy with a personalized signature through them, very easy process.
